Hi all,
this is probably a rookie question, but I do encounter the issue that Pod Farm sounds different between the stand-alone and plug-in versions. When using as VST in Reaper, it sounds more distorted (without distortion on). It does not sound bad per se, just as if the plug-in adds more amp distortion.
The only difference I can see is that the stand-alone is working with a mono signal (which should be correct), and the plug-in in Reaper with a stereo signal. I read that there is supposed to be a mono plugin version, but I cannot seem to find it. Some posts I read are pretty old, so maybe it does not exist anymore.
My questions to you:
- Can this mono-stereo difference cause such sound differences?
- Is this a common issue?
- If not, any idea what may be causing this?
Again, I am far from a pro in terms of home recording. In fact, I am primarily a drummer, so very basic knowledge about guitar recording in general.
Also, I am using Windows 11, Reaper 7.12 and Pod Farm 2.59.
I have been trying to research this quite some time, and fiddled around a bunch myself, but do not seem to be able to figure it out. So any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks and Best,
Johannes
